A sit-on-top kayak is a type of kayak where the paddler sits on top of the kayak’s hull, rather than inside it. This makes sit-on-top kayaks more stable and easier to get in and out of than traditional kayaks, making them a great choice for beginners, recreational paddlers, and those who want to be able to get out of their kayak quickly in case of a capsize.
Sit-on-top kayaks are also more versatile than traditional kayaks, as they can be used for a variety of activities, including fishing, swimming, and snorkeling. They are also more comfortable to sit in for long periods of time, as the paddler’s weight is distributed more evenly across the kayak’s hull.
